Chapter 88


    "You''ve been reading her WhatsApp Moments!"


    The woman rushed forward angrily and snatched the phone from the man sitting on the sofa.


    "Carrie, give my phone back!" Cory immediately stood up and red at her.


    "Christina is your cousin''s wife, and she''s pregnant with Patrick''s child. You should face the reality."


    Carrie yelled at him angrily.


    "It''s none of your business!"


    Cory stepped forward and snatched back his phone. He red at the woman in front of him with a grim


    face. "Get out of here now, Carrie. You don''t have the right to stay in the Hampton Family!"


    Cory was resentful of what she had done.


    Carrie felt guilty, but she raised her voice, "Indeed, I''ve done something wrong in the past, but we''ve


    already gotten the marriage certificates. You''re my husband, and shouldn''t you take care of me? ..."


    "Stop making me sick. Get out of here now!"


    She had conspired with Patrick to plot him, and he was furious.


    Carrie had been pestering him all these days. She thought Cory would forgive herself in a while, but he


    was still cold and stern after half a month.


    "Cory, are you really... really going to have a fight with me? I have Dickens Family as my backup!" She


    was so angry and she threatened him.


    Cory sneered, "Dickens Family?"


    "How dare you mention the Dickens Family? You''re shameless. What''s your rtionship with Donald?


    Even Christina never mentions him. Donald is just your brother-inw."


    He hated everything about her.


    "My sister said that if you dare to divorce me, the Dickens Family would not let you go!" Carrie was


    infuriated by his words.


    Indeed, their wedding was canceled, but the two of them had already received the marriage


    certificates, which meant that they were legally married. Carrie knew that no man would like a divorced


    woman, so she tried her best to pester him. She had to be the Young Madam of the Hampton Family.


    "Oh, you think you can rely on the Dickens Family?"


    Cory scoffed, "Carrie, go back and ask your sister if your family group is about to change its name...


    The Hopkins Group is your backup, but they know very well that the Dickens Family had displeased


    Patrick, and Donald can''t even protect himself. How dare you to threaten me with the Dickens Family?"


    Cory''s face was also very sullen. He almost squeezed the name ''Patrick'' out of his gnashing teeth.


    Crystal had called Christina many times during these days. So her phone kept ringing.


    After dinner, she stayed in her bedroom and was reading some posts about pregnancy on a forum.


    Her phone was ringing again. She thought it was Crystal who was calling her, but it was Mrs. Dickens.


    "Christina, how are you doing? Is Patrick good to you?"


    Christina had a bad feeling when she heard that this snobbish olddy suddenly cared about her.


    "We''re just like other couples. We''re good."


    "That''s good, you should be good to each other like other couples. When you sleep at night, you should


    chat more to improve your rtionship..."


    Christina felt that something was wrong. She asked directly, "What happened?"


    Mrs. Dickens didn''t waste time on preliminaries. She hurriedly said in amanding tone.


    "Christina, tell Patrick that Dickens Family really had nothing to do with the shoddy steel tes used for


    the bridge projectst month. It was all your George''s fault. He was too greedy. Please exin to


    Patrick. Dickens Family should be implicated..."


    Christina was startled. She thought of the bloody scene in the basement. Patrick had specially taken


    her there.


    "I can do nothing about his business." She replied in aplicated tone.


    "What are you talking about!"


    Mrs. Dickens scolded her with anger, "If something happens to your father, you will have a hard time.


    Dickens Family relies on Hopkins Group for almost everything, and you must help the Dickens Family."


    After that, the phone was directly hung up.


    They just regarded her as a tool. She really wanted to cut off their rtionship! She was annoyed.


    However, she put her phone back on the table and sat quietly on the sofa, thinking about it.


    Patrick supported the Dickens Family, but he could destroy the Dickens Family at any time. Christina


    didn''t think he would really do that. He seemed to be threatening the Dickens Family.


    "No wonder those people didn''t dare to offend him..." Because they were involved.


    Everyone in the business circle knew that they should never be Patrick''s enemy...


    "What are you doing?"


    She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn''t notice the door was opened. Patrick suddenly


    appeared in front of her.


    Christina looked at him and instinctively tensed up. "No, nothing."


    "I''m reading some posts on a parent-child forum..." She turned her head away to avoid his eyes and


    made an excuse in a hurry.


    "Posts?" Patrick was still standing in front of her and said in an ambiguous tone.


    "This is the forum. Many pregnant women share their experiences." She said in a serious tone.


    Christina spoke a little fast and turned theptop screen towards him as if to prove that she was not


    lying.


    "They said that when they were pregnant, their husbands must control themselves and they may cheat


    on them... Then they shared some experiences about how to help their husbands..."


    "They said a male masturbator would help," Christina said with a serious expression.


    She raised her head and was confused. "Patrick, what''s the masturbator?"


    Patrick''s grim expression froze.


    "You shouldn''t look at theputer screen for a long while since you''re pregnant. Go to bed and rest."

    He lowered his voice and changed the subject.


    Christina didn''t mention that again. She quickly turned off theputer, went to the bathroom to wash


    up, and went to bed.


    Patrick went to the bathroom in the study to take a shower. After he came out, he went back to his desk


    to deal with the documents.


    However, he seemed a little absent-minded.


    He could feel that she was afraid of him.


    "Is it because thatst time..." He turned to look at the dark night outside the window. He had forced


    her to go to the basement and scared her.


    Upset, he walked out of the study and went back to the bedroom to rest.


    The woman on the bed was fast asleep.


    She didn''t get him into trouble recently. Patrick lifted the quilt and slept beside her.


    He put his arms around her waist and held her gently in his arms. Christina did not resist. She seemed


    to have gotten used to it. Her face rubbed against his chest.


    Patrick noticed her movements, and his heart was filled with strange emotions.


    He gently caressed her long, silky hair. "Afraid of me?" He muttered in a low voice.


    He held her even tighter and his thin lips pressed against her ears.


    "Christina, if you''re really afraid of me, then don''t upset me." His voice was low and deep. He seemed


    to be warning her, but his voice was helpless.
